PLCs were initially used to facilitate control issues with relays, because the use of relays involves a lot of space, plenty of wiring, troubleshooting in the event of a malfunction, and due to its mechanical short life. By integrating analogue to digital and digital-to-analog converter, analog control of this analogue processor is also possible.
With PLCs, you can do all the control work, from controlling the temperature of a small sensor to controlling the production process of a complex product or a nuclear power plant. The level of control ability of each PLC depends on the type of CPU used in it.
PLCs are very successful in doing simple things, but as the process becomes more complex and larger, controlling it will only have a precision and low speed CPU. To increase the speed, accuracy, and security of the system, it is possible to divide the work into a system that controlled the system by using multiple independent processors, each processor controlling a part of the entire work. So, it's possible to build a DCS control system by using multiple PLCs simultaneously and managing their performance for a process. DCS is the total connection of multiple PLCs, where their processors are networked and one computer manages the rest of the Network Manager.
If we consider all field-level sensors as nodes of a network and extend the network to the field, a fieldbus network will be created.
In a simple DCS system, the network is only at the management level but In the fieldbus system, FCS, any transmitter is a computer, that is, a separate BIOS and address.
The National Iranian Petrochemical Company has been using its field for the first time in the field of Bass, and BPC is one of the few fully fieldbased companies.
One of the advantages of using the fieldbus system is the separation of analog and digital controllers and linking them into software. This is similar to having two powerful PLCs together, one that controls analog parameters and the other controls only digital parameters.
Another advantage of the fieldbus is the simple configuration of the graphical and display environment (Monitoring) and the ability to use Windows features in that environment.
Other protocols, like Profibus, extend the network into the field, but in the fieldbus, the standard FOUNDATION protocol is used, and more than 200 equipment manufacturers follow it.
The purpose of the fieldbus is to reduce cabling volumes and reduce the hardware used for the control system. Increase the information received and sent from the transmitters. Also, the structure of strategy and control programs in the feedbacks is blocked (Function Block), which makes the implementation and configuration (configuration) of control matters very convenient.
It should be noted that in projects that do not have strong monitoring, the installation site or the damage to the cable bus, the location of the transceivers, and ... will cause noise in the information sent and received, and will be problematic. If the location of the transmitters that are the field is not set correctly, the bus line will have a lot of maze and the DCS cable consumption will also increase!
Fieldbus is now the most advanced and, at the same time, the most efficient control system, because it includes advanced control systems with useful software.
The ability to communicate with upstream sections, FCS and HIS Yukagava is included for these modules, and all settings available in the IO section can also be defined in the Ramona modules.
